You have my best wishes
but…
That thread title? It kind of sounds like you think your sisters kid will be the anti-christ or something.
Hi, Brent. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this time.
Actually, that sort of sounds like my own situation. I was supposed to have been born in late November or early December, but instead was born in mid-September at two pounds, two ounces. (my terrible math calculates that at 18 ounces, so a bit bigger than your niece) I turned out okay, and that was 26 years ago.
I hope everything turns out well for your family.

best thoughts, hopes and prayers.
keep us posted.
take comfort in miracles.
good thoughts, much prayers sent your way. I wish all the best for you and your family.

I am so very special
I have been from the start.
Before they held me in their arms
My family held me in their hearts.
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
My life and love will ripples make
And touch the lives of all.
So read this precious story
As step by step I grow.
I am a special blessing and gift
As each page here will show.
My prayers and best wishes!I’ll tell you something you doubtless already know.
That is VERY small.
My two were 3 lbs and 1 lb 11 oz.
No one who has not been there can understand what it is like.
I understand.
My precious girl is 6 now, in her first year of kindergarten (we held them back a year), and is the best student in her class. My awesome boy, after surgeries and much work, both physical and mental, scrapes along at the bottom of his class, but is the happiest person there.
I would pray for your niece, but my months in the neonatal ward killed off my belief in God.
Nonetheless, all my kindest thoughts are with both you and your family.
I will think of you daily, and hope for the best.

Hoping for the best for the little one and the rest of her family.
Let us know, Brent.
Get stronger soon, little one, you have more friends than you know.
I’m not usually the praying type, Brent, but your story has got me throwing every prayer I can think of at the powers that be. Here’s hoping that little Abigail can make it, and also that–should the worst happen–your family pulls through with grace and hope for the future.
Much love to you all…

Oops. :o I knew that, really I did. Can’t really blame it on being from Canada, either. I think my brain wasn’t working.

You’re in my thoughts.
Much love,

Flam, why did you bump this up?

I do not want to talk to it any more beyond this one statement right now, as it hurts me too bad…
…Abigail passed away this past Friday night, and the funeral was on Friday. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced, and have been physically ill over it, and simply can not quit thinking about it. It really has me disturbed, and I think I’m taking it harder than anyone in my family, and I do not know why.
Thank you for your prayers however, it is all appriciated in everyway, thank you everyone…
The funeral was on Monday, sorry for the typo. If you can offer me any advice as to how to get over this, please offer it, because right now…
…I feel angry, empty, and quite simply don’t know how to interpret my feelings.
Oh sweetheart…I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. This is by no means any advice post here. Just a hug and a sincere statement of how sad I am for you.
My heart is breaking for you and yours tonight. I am so very sorry.
[sub]Thank you, Flam, for bumping this thread. I had wondered how the baby was and couldn’t seem to find it.[/sub]
On behalf of the Doors family, please accept our condolences on your loss, Brent.
However, having lost a child (full-term, not preemie), I can truthfully say that there is nothing anyone can tell you that’ll make you feel better or get through this any faster.
I heartily recommend the book A Broken Heart Still Beats. It helped me out a lot after I lost my older son.
My e-mail box is always open. Address is below.

I suggest talking about your feelings with your family, friends and maybe even some sort of counselor. Your thinking that you are taking it worse then anyone else kind of shows that you are maybe isolating yourself from them.
You and your family have my deepest sympathy.
I have more problems than this, as seen in my thread where I asked what was wrong with me. Look it up if you don’t know what I am talking about…
…I don’t know how to explain what I feel. I know it’s normal to moarn a death, but this hurts me about a million times more than loosing either one of my VERY close grandfathers did. Perhaps it’s because it’s a small (she was so small, she could have fit in my shoe), or perhaps it’s because I was one of the two (the other being her 12 year old brother, my nephew), or perhaps…
…perhaps I feel so bad, because all the while she was a living breathing angel here on Earth, I was so damn selfish that I never ONCE went to the hospital in Charlotte (about three hours from where I live), to visit her. I feel guilt over that, and feel as though I let her down, very much so.
It isn’t JUST that though, I just have such a broken heart, and nothing has ever made me feel like this. My panic type attataks have worsened since this happened, and I think about it ALMOST constantly, I don’t know.
